Don't make the game lame, cause some people have a bug up their arse about fighting mages, "boo hoo, mages hurt me....I want my mommy".
Get over over it, no rest restrictions - I unlike most people have a job to go to and I can't be arsed waiting 10 years for my damn spells to come back.
Rest restrictions: An effect melee/caster balancing tool
Fighters overpowered
I think warriors should need to go back to town every 30 minutes to repair their gear.
It gets all beat up but they can stay and continue fighting non stop with some heal potions.
Warriors should need to get to a smith to repair it and have the armor or weapon smithing skill apropriate to the level of equipment they need to repair or pay someone to do it.
Sound dumb? So does resting every half hour for mages.
Already the rang for resting is fairly large that you can only do it after clearing out 1/3 of the zone.
Resting every half hour only makes it inconvinient the same way as having to go to town to repair weapons would. It does nothing to balance the class which has no problems considering all the reisists armor has right now.

Repairing armor doesn't sound dumb, but starting at level 1 warriors have +1 armor available which doesn't wear down...
I would galdly accept rest restricted to every 6 game hours if:
1. All spell durations were returned to normal
And...
2. (For the whiners out there) Scroll costs were reduced.
To craft a shuriken it doesn't take much xp, 4 I think.
You get 50 for 4 xp.
Let's balance out scrolls and make them 1 or 2xp/sp lvl/scroll.
Now with a 3 or 6xp fireball scroll go out and lure about 10 goblins in close to you and BANG, set off the fireball scroll and you should get ~40 xp.
You people forget, this is beta, let's give it a try.

You can require +1 armor to be repaired if you wanted to.
It is dumb, it adds nothing to the game.
The entire point was to make it sound dumb.
The point is, you can impose inconviniences on classes if you want to be petty such as not allowing mages to rest whenever there is no enemy around.
The end result will be the same, they will be able to kill you just as fast. The only thing that will happen is the class will be less fun to play.
